(1) metaphorical:

I
do not bother ('trouble myself')
with success
Senser
Process: mental: emotive
Matter

(2) one way of unpacking the grammatical metaphor a little:

I
do not bother ('care') to think
in terms of (the idea of) success
Senser
Process: mental: cognitive
Manner: quality

where the cognitive Process is realised by a verbal group complex of desiderative projection:

do not bother ('care')
to think
α
' β
